Zaaaaaaaaajebista!!! :)

OK, Tell me what you want to know and I'll tell you.

I guess that most of the people are interested in screen quality :P

I have to tell you that I was terrified, when I first turned in on. It looked like the one that I saw i Sony Center. Totaly washed out colors. No blacks etc. Than I changed wallpaper to a picure with lots of black, and Tada!! Beautiful black and contrast!!!!! Sony just changed colors of the whole UI, so there is no black, only gray :D:D:D. Apps and wallpapers look great!
[Xperia Z General] marcoplo:
were there any memory card (micro sd ) inside the phone ??? 2,4,8,16,32??
[Xperia Z General] XDA mark:
Yes, I have seen it myself in real life and can confirm this. The screen looks much better then people expect. Plus that everybody now has their "expectations" set to low, they will be even more impressed. I mean come on, would you really think Sony would put a TERRIBLE display in their flagship? They want to capture the market, you are not going to do that with a terrible screen.

The screen is SHARP, BIG, BEAUTIFUL. Indeed, Sony has chosen a lot of gray instead of black (bottom nav bar + status bar + background in settings). That's not a washed out screen, that's just the colour Sony chose. I can understand people are confused by this, I was as well. But when I saw the screen in real life, I saw that's it's a good screen. Yes, the viewing angles are not as good as the S-LCD3/HD AMOLED screens, but it's not THAT bad as some pictures made you think.

I think that the XZ offers so much that those "not perfect" viewing angles can go to hell
[Xperia Z General] huball:
No, no memory card. Just charger, microusb cable, headphones ang user manual.
[Xperia Z General] demon9206:
+1 xda Mark. I saw the device at CES and didn't believe the guy when he said it was TN. Best looking TN I've ever seen. Looked at some photos online both on my buddys s3 and the Z, and the difference was NOT what you see in pictures.

Before anyone leaves this device because of the screen, take a look IRL first.
[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
Mało powiedziane że zajebista. Niesamowite urządzenie, przyjemnie na nie patrzeć, o używaniu nie wspomne ;)

BTW. Guys, I don't know if that's Polish-distribution specific but we have two screen protectors bundled with the phone. One for front and one for back :)
[Xperia Z General] kuba1410:
Yeah, mine came with them too. Did you apply them? Apparently the front is already equipped with a screen protector, why would they add another one?
[Xperia Z General] huball:
I read that's a standard on Sony phones
[Xperia Z General] indycar:
hmmm power (usb) cable has no RC protection :( looks ill stick to my x2 or neo cable than :) when phone hits our market

ps any1 needs sony earphones i have 2many of em already
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
I think that the pre applied ones shouldn't be removed, and are quite thick and difficult to remove. So if the screen protectors in the box have normal thickness my guess is that it is to protect the screen protector from getting scratched. A scratch protector for a scatter protector :)
[Xperia Z General] marcoplo:
can you check whether i can use 5 pin MHL cable or 11 pin MHL cable ! would be interesting to know !!!!!!
[Xperia Z General] jayman1986:
No that its actually a shatter proof sheet supplied on all sony phones for extra protection, screen protector is apparently supposed to go on top of that
[Xperia Z General] Fasty12:
Lag?

Any lag, stuttering, or frame drops when opening apps and moving around the UI?
[Xperia Z General] kuba1410:
I am not sure which one I have, I I bought mine in August 2011 I think they used 5-pin cables then (?) - it works with the XZ.

Thanks. One other thing maybe someone else will know. There is a NFC sticker at the back, how does it go with the back protector?
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
I think you should remove it
[Xperia Z General] spurs1959:
The phone comes with anti shatter film its not a screen protector and you are advised to put a standard screen protector on top of this pre applied film.
[Xperia Z General] XDA mark:
I was still having tiny hope the phone would come with a free dock for "wireless" charging via the gold pins on the left side.

Any idea if the dock is/will available at launch (now xD)? And if yes, any prices known?
[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
No idea about availability, but the price has been set at 26 pounds.
[Xperia Z General] hebbe:
i think it's depending on where you buy your phone. i got a charging-station included.
[Xperia Z General] kuba1410:
Permanently? Won't I lose NFC capability then?
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
It is just a sticker the actual chip is in the phone, sticker is just there so you know where the chip is
[Xperia Z General] m00moo:
Thats the funniest thing i've read on XDA. :laugh::good:
[Xperia Z General] huball:
For a few minutes after the first launch. Buttery smooth after that, Even after restarts. This thing is extreamly fast :)

Found first bug :( Sometimes the keyboard stops vibrating. It returns to normal later. I still didn't figure when :p

The next thing is, that a lot of 3D games from Google Play are "not compatible with your device". I guess its just the matter of time, until they're updated.
[Xperia Z General] antipesto93:
:D
[Xperia Z General] kuba1410:
Feel a bit stupid now. At least I made someone laugh.

It is indeed extremely fast. No lag, stutter whatsoever.

Did you notice any issues with gmail push notifications? In two instances today it failed to notify two emails (appeared only after manual refresh in the app).
[Xperia Z General] sfkaudi:
Sv: Got my Xperia Z!!! :)

Hey is there any different of the media sound, notification and ringtones in your handset and Xperia s
[Xperia Z General] huball:
This app is acting weird :D
[Xperia Z General] huball:
I have to admit, this phone is munching the battery pretty swiftly :/
[Xperia Z General] xl VipeR lx:
wouldnt be surprised, screen on constantly and wifi :P
[Xperia Z General] Fasty12:
Gmaps

Can you try to open Gmaps to see if the transition animation when opening and closing is as smooth as other apps please?
[Xperia Z General] huball:
What can I say? A new toy :P

I just hoped that this super duper energy saving screen would be less power hungry. I have to admit, its very bright.
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Yes it is, but it was too, at my s2.
[Xperia Z General] brambizimski:
Small question yet vital: Can you use the whole screen with only one hand easily and comfy?
[Xperia Z General] m00moo:
Can you touch the ceiling in your house?

Obviously this depends on how big your hands are or long your fingers are. Different for different people
[Xperia Z General] huball:
I have to slide it a little in my hand to touch the opposite top corner with my thumb, and I have a pretty big hands. So, yes, I can use the whole screen with one hand, but the phone is not sitting securely sometimes.
[Xperia Z General] pongnamu:
May i ask about how much apps you can multitask with no lag? :)
[Xperia Z General] acetag:
Can you tell me more about the screen touch? camera?
[Xperia Z General] hush66:
What's your firmware version? 10.1.A.1.350?
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
From what I have heard, Sony batteries historically require several charge cycles to normalize. If this holds true for the battery in the Z as well, then the battery life should eventually improve over what you're seeing now.

Of course this info comes from others comments... someone more in-the-know could probably confirm or deny this.

Perhaps its the OP ????
[Xperia Z General] dibdin:
It is.
[Xperia Z General] dante2086:
I've used so many Sony and Sony Ericsson phones in the past and present. And I can tell u from experience that it's true. I remember my W850 initially couldn't go 12 hrs, after a short while, it was going 48 hrs.
[Xperia Z General] Droidyou:
This device never lagged for me so far, I don't know how many apps you want to use at once?

[Xperia Z General] huball:

[Xperia Z General] huball:

[Xperia Z General] indycar:
me too and w850i batt lasted me 4-5 days if i was low on screwin around with it it went whole week
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Ok, installed "Multi-touch test". It lags a lot less with fast movement, than SGS2.

Camera is extremly fast and it has a feature, I missed for a very loooong time. You can turn shutter sound off!!! Great news for all stalkers/perverts :p
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Opera has a tiny UI :D
[Xperia Z General] Liam0100:
What's your opinion on the Audio through earphones/headphones? Is it Loud enough? And how does it compare to your last phone?
[Xperia Z General] marcgear:
Had another play with this in Phones for u today absolutely nothing wrong with the screen IMO, however the sound through the internal speaker id a big screw up.
[Xperia Z General] RCJ89:
The xperia z is loud enough, thats it loud enough.
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
Pretty endless. 2GB of RAM is a huge amount and in reality the effect is more than double the amount of what 1GB phones have available for apps.

I have never, ever experienced any lag in switching between apps or opening apps at all, ever. It's a day and night difference with my Xperia T and S.
[Xperia Z General] DeadlyDazza:
Aren't there laws in some countries regarding shutter muting?

Silent shutter + possibility of use underwater = risky holiday snaps!
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Compared to SGS2 it has more bass by default. I only listened to a few tracks using Player PRO. Rush, Gorillaz, Florence + the Machine, Nevermore, all sound great with no need for any EQ settings, just like I expected from a SONY device.

About the loudness. After listening to thrash and death metal on full volume, my ears started to hurt, so I guess its good enough. I'll tell you more on Monday after I go to work by bus, because I usually don't listen to music using cellphone, at home.

Don't have my SGS2 anymore so I can't do a side by side comparison, besides I don't have a audiophile/studio headphones, only Sony MDR-NC40, so I doubt the difference would knock my socks off. I'll try to compare it to my GF HTC 8X today or maybe on Monday.

One more thing, the bundled headphones, are THE BEST headphones, I've seen bundled to a smartphone. You can buy better, of course, but comparing to a cheap Chinese sh.t other manufacturers provide, there is no competition.

Yes :D It would be a great help. :) I want XZ too but I will wait till the price drop :(

I thought that too, but found a great deal at Phones4u!

The only thing that worries me about this phone is the speaker position... it seems to easy to accidentally cover...
[Xperia Z General] huball:

[Xperia Z General] :
Battery life?
[Xperia Z General] :
Oh well, nothing is perfect.

Can't wait to make a Stock-based ROM for this thing!
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Can't answer that, sorry. Still playing to much with it.
[Xperia Z General] :
No problem. Mine will be here sometime this week so can find out soon enough :)
[Xperia Z General] jameslfc5:
How do the port "flaps" feel, do they look likely to break or are they quite solid?
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
Very solid, these aren't coming off unless you really want them to.
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Well, at the beginning, they are pretty hard to put in place correctly, due to rubber sealing, so they rather won't open by themselves. The straps that connect them to phone are made of soft plastic, not rubber, so I don't think they gonna break any time soon. I don't have experience with such things so I can't tell you more. I am not going to pull them to hard just to check, sorry :P
[Xperia Z General] harfot:
They have been working on my S for a year now without any problems so don't fear :)
[Xperia Z General] LordManhattan:
When i think about it, there isn't really any reason to open the flaps that often. SIM card and SD card; fine. That's a one time thing (for most people). The one flap that'll get a lot of exercise is the one for the minijack, but that can easily be solved by purchasing a bluetooth headset. Charging is done by using the dock.
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Well, my didn't have a dock included, and I they are not available for purchase in Poland at the moment. I'm thinking about buying Sony's BT headset, but I stil try to decide which one :confused:
[Xperia Z General] robogo1982:
Was just about to ask this.

Damn.
[Xperia Z General] LordManhattan:
No dock? What (dangerous) game is Sony playing? I've read several places that the dock is included in the box, and some other places says that it's not included. I demand an answer! :p
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Maybe, the ones bought in stores have a dock, and the carrier ones don't?
[Xperia Z General] huball:
On Polish Sony website, DK26 is not even listed as an available accessory :(
[Xperia Z General] LordManhattan:
Not sure, but it looks good for my part. From a Norwegian review:

"The content of the box is pretty much what we expect. One exception however is that It includes a charging cradle"
[Xperia Z General] neovalkyr:
So I too got my japanese purple xz yesterday used it for a day and today it just died. I'm so sad. Back on my 1x now. The phone was amazing while it was working though. The xperia launch can be a little laggy at times so I switched to atom launcher. Camera was really nice. I had a 64 gb sd in it.
[Xperia Z General] huball:
What do you meen by "died"? Black screen, not charging, no response for power botton? Mine did something like that once. Had to do hard power off (vol up + power for 15 sec). Than everything was OK. It just hanged in a strange way.

There is another topic where some other guy sad he had the same behaviour.
[Xperia Z General] neovalkyr:
Yah i just did that and now it's fine lol thanks
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Glad it resolved your problem too. What where you doing when it hanged? I was playing with a NFC reading app.
[Xperia Z General] DennisDD78:
I`ge got it today and i`m happy :)
[Xperia Z General] LordManhattan:
Congrats! Do you mind posting some (a lot) of photos of it? You know what part of it we're asking for :p

Yeah, of course, no problem, but i`ll do the photos later, i`m at work right now :)
[Xperia Z General] fakhreza:
Hi OP.

Congrats for your new phone. You makes me drooling right now haha. I want to ask a few questions here.

Do you experience any stutters (not a graphical lag, but more like a processing lag) when multitasking and switching to one and other open apps back and forth? Because I experience some stutters in my note 10.1 (remembering that this tablet is running JB and has decent hw specs).

How is the screen performance under the sunlight?

Thanks :)

Sent from my LT15i
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Oh, you got a dock (jellous). Gongrats :) You got it from carrier or a local store?
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Thanks :)

Didn't notice any lag, even when installing updates from market, and downloading aditional files for Gun Bros at the same time (thats when my SGS2 was laging).

As to the screen performance in sulight. We have a winter here, pretty cloudy, so no direct sunlight, but in this conditions it looks brilliant :)

Have to admit it's almost impossible for me to hold it securely when typing with one hand on a street :(
[Xperia Z General] dibdin:
Is that because it's both big and slippery in the hand??
[Xperia Z General] huball:
It's loud enought for me, on the bus.
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Not slippery, just big :P
[Xperia Z General] redThd:
Mine came with a dock as well, bought it directly from the sony store in Berlin.

The dock is nothing special however, it doesn't include any goodies like hdmi output or usb input... it's just a dumb power connector.

Probably it's me, but I screwed up putting on the protectors. Bubbles everywhere. The NFC sensor on the back also creates a bubble as it is raised.

Edit: Yeah well you try and put your screen protectors on by candlelight... still stupid me obviously it's just a sticker... lol

Phone is not too big and I'm coming from 4'. Can use the notifocation bar etc., however left upper corner is prolematic if you like to keep your pinky underneath the phone.

The speaker is thin, but you should be using a bluetooth speaker anyways.

Get the foxlg2.

The blacks are great, need a custom theme with black accents instead of grey ones. Viewing angles are ok, not too bad.

Great product... it can stand on every side.

If you have questions go ahead...
[Xperia Z General] d33ano1:
Nice phone

Love that phone! :X:good:
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
This is just a sticker pointing to where the NFC chips is located, you can safely remove it before applying the screen protector.
[Xperia Z General] m00moo:
ROFL. Why do people think this is a sensor? I'm suprised people dont think the plastic on the front and back of the device out of the box isn't a screen protector...:eek::eek::eek:

I don't quite think that is where it is located but just a indicator of to say NFC capable. Same as how you'd get a "intel" sticker on a pc.
[Xperia Z General] redThd:
I assumed it was a sensor because the chip worked only in this area. Obviously though it's a sticker indicating the location of the chip. Sorry for the confusion. :p
[Xperia Z General] LordManhattan:
It might be the location of the NFC chip? (under the cover of course) I remember watching a preview video on YouTube where a Sony rep showed some features, and he activated the Sony speaker with NFC, and he touched the speaker with the upper part of the phone.
[Xperia Z General] jameslfc5:
Mine would be used constantly for headphones mate and HOPEFULLY rarely for charging haha
[Xperia Z General] LordManhattan:
Same here, so i think i'll have to invest some money in a nice bluetooth headset. (It will never happen, but i keep saying it)
[Xperia Z General] robogo1982:
I hear the supplied headset is awesome, so why bother with BT ones? :D
[Xperia Z General] LordManhattan:
Mostly because I don't want to open the flap all the time, plus it's not watertight when it's open, and that's no fun when I'm jogging in the rain :p
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Exactly. Getting MW600 this week :) You can always connect supplied headphones to it.
[Xperia Z General] invinciblervd:
Why don't you take a look at SBH20 ? Seems better as it has NFC as well. Only 4 pounds more expensive than the MW600. I am thinking of buying those.
[Xperia Z General] redThd:
I assume the ancient MW600 is better in every other aspect... display, fm radio, multiple devices capable,...
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Well. I thought about it, but I changed my mind because:

1. It's not available in Poland yet

2. Can't find any reviews in the inet

3. I read that MW600 sounds great.

4. Shorter battery life

5. no display

6. I don't think that NFC is very useful in this device. It's just for easy pairing over Bluetooth, and that's a one time job.

So the only advantages of SBH20 over MW600, are NFC and Bluetooth 3.0 and both are not important to me.
[Xperia Z General] huball:
Wow! The screen is fully readable in direct sunlight :D
[Xperia Z General] fards:
For anyone lucky enough to receive a dock, can you let us know the polarity of the pins?

Can knock up a couple of home made docks for work and home then :D
